Default OT: I HATE WORD PERFECT

God I hate this crappy program with all my heart!

I just lost five hours of work, even thought I had saved many times, because this F***** program crapped out!

Don't be hatin.

Seriously Geo, I tell ya, I was so mad about this I could have ripped that program from my PC a bit at a time with my bare hands....

All tha work seeminly lost.

But guess what, the program has a back up that for some miricle worked. I only Last the work that I had done over the Last fifteen minutes or so.

Still, OFFICE 2000 is a better program IMHO.

ANY programm is better than WP . I wonder that this programm is still in use, I had my Last encounter with it about 10 years ago.
And there is no need to feed the big devil M$ just out of the desparation. Try Open Office instead.

And that's why I've stuck with MS Works 4.0 for the past what? 8 years? Still works great after all this time. A little slow maybe, but I can't complain too hard.

Open Office still has a while to go before it can compete with MS Office. Ok if you don't want to pay any money.

Agreed, it is up to discussion how much better MS Office is than Open Office. But as you mentioned, it's for free... and, another big plus, you're not feeding M$ when using it
Plus, it definitely IS better than Word Perfect

One nice feature in Word Perfect was the ability to see the formatting code and make changes. Word likes to format the document itself and doesn't allow many of the changes I would like to make (such as revising indents, etc.)
